HERNDON, Va.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The Department of the Navy has awarded Peratona contract to
support the efforts of U.S. armed services to detect, locate, remove and
secure unexploded ordnance on land and at sea.

“Detecting, locating, removing or neutralizing unexploded ordnance
that threaten our forces and innocent civilians is a critical DOD and
humanitarian mission, and it is an honor to be a part of it.”

Peraton will support the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Program
Management Office.

The contract has a ceiling of $40.97 million for one base year and four
option years. This is the team’s tenth consecutive EOD support contract
award since 1983, which covers onsite engineering, logistics, and
curriculum development, and training support services for the Joint EOD
Community.

Gus Bontzos, Peraton president Defense and Electronic Warfare sector
said, “Detecting, locating, removing or neutralizing unexploded ordnance
that threaten our forces and innocent civilians is a critical DOD and
humanitarian mission, and it is an honor to be a part of it.”

“Unfortunately, armed conflicts continue around the world, and so does
the proliferation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), landmines and
other unexploded ordnance. It is our job to help our military do this
work more safely and efficiently, and ultimately help make former
conflict areas safe for people to live, work and travel,” he said.

The EOD Program Management Office provides the systems, tools and
equipment EOD technicians need to locate, identify and neutralize
unexploded ground and underwater ordnance, including sea mines, IEDs and
other devices.
